01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 0% fat)
02 - 1 cup self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
03 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Toppings

06 - 6 large eggs
07 - 1/2 cup low-fat milk
08 - 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
10 - 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni slices
11 - 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
12 - 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
13 - 1/4 cup diced red onion (optional)
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)
15 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease or line a 9x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Knead dough briefly on a lightly floured surface until smooth, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Roll or press dough into a rectangle to fit the prepared sheet pan, then transfer and press evenly to all edges.
04 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough base in a thin, uniform layer.
05 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until well combined and uniform.
06 - Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the pizza sauce layer.
07 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese layer, distributing it across the entire surface.
08 - Top with turkey pepperoni, remaining cheese, bell pepper, and red onion if using.
09 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is golden and bubbly.
10 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm.
